Cornelius Schumacher: Akademy program, almost there

The Akademy program is almost done. Speaker notification deadline was yesterday, but we are still busy sorting out some last details and haven't sent notifications yet. Please bear with us and have a bit more patience. We have a lot of great proposals, more than we can fit into the schedule. So it's not easy to decide what we can take, and the co-hosting with GUADEC adds another dimension of complexity to this task. But we are on a good track, and we will have a fantastic program. Stay tuned...

Last year I presented the project to the KDE community at Akademy 2017 that took place in Almeria-Spain, I wanted to highlight back then the idea of a multimedia desktop application that was aware of its content by making use of the wide knowledge that could be found on the internet, by making use of a music information retrieval system called Pulpo together with AI techni...02.02.2018 Akregator'akregator' is a fast, lightweight, and intuitive feed reader program for KDE.
